Getting to base = 1 pt.

Getting that man to home gives you a 5 points.

You are essentially rewarding the team for getting on base rather than just getting that man home. You could see scores of 34-15 or something crazy like that.

Are you serious with this question?

Maybe you can come up with a fantasy league with this kind of scoring. Could be fun.

Have targets above the walls of the outfield fence for points.

Yup, 7 innings is fine by me. And also enough with the extra innings. Change extra innings to start with a man on 1st and 2nd.

I would like to see MLB drop like four or six teams. But it would never happen.

No need to run the bases if you hit a home run over the fence. No need. Next batter please..
